Features

Filtering: block ads, malware, and other unwanted content. Compatible with all DNS services

Time-based filtering, with a flexible weekly schedule

Transparent redirection of specific domains to specific resolvers

DNS caching, to reduce latency and improve privacy

Local IPv6 blocking to reduce latency on IPv4-only networks

Load balancing: pick a set of resolvers, dnscrypt-proxy will automatically measure and keep track of their speed, and balance the traffic across the fastest available ones.

Cloaking: like a HOSTS file on steroids, that can return preconfigured addresses for specific names, or resolve and return the IP address of other names. This can be used for local development as well as to enforce safe search results on Google, Yahoo and Bing.
